SPARKS FROM THE ELECTION.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-If you will allow
us little space, we would like to call at
tention to such light as Monday S election
has thrown upon the actual politics Otto
day. We claim that the issue now before
the American people is the saloon; but
that the power of the LIQUOR men de-
pends on hiding this fact, and on blind
the people by other names, as Democrat
or Republican. Could there be a clearer
illustration of this fact than our late elec.
ton? Take the two old-party NOM
inees for mayor. These gentlemen were
alike in not being prohibitionists, but
one of them could be trusted by the
liquor men as subservient to their inter-
ests in every fiber of his being, while the
other possessed that sort of personal
character which might not thus play into
their hands. On this ground simply and
alone the independent man is slaughter
ed without any regard to party ties. Ev-
eryone believes him safe and competent
for the office, and he is not opposed to
the liquor men; but on the other hand
he is not theirs body and soul, therefore
he is not available. How long will ii
take all good citizens to see that the sa-
loon is in politics, and yet that it has nc
politics; to see that we cannot have any
thing to do with politics without meeting
the saloon, an institution which recog'
nizes no interest except its own interest
and to see that we have either got tc
adopt the saloon and be ruled by it, OF to
exterminate it?

Drummers' Licenses.

Perhaps the drummers in Helena last
evening did not feel as if they owned
the city but they were intensely con-
scious that what interest they had here
was not taxable and that they were
monarchs Of all they surveyed, SO long
as they paid their ordinary expenses.
The decision OF Judge Wade yesterday
was victory for them and one that was
foregone sequence of the law of the
land as laid down by the supreme court
of the United States. The Independent
has no complaints to make except against
bull-headed legislature. After the de-
cision was made and publishsd in terms
so plain that way -faring man thought
fool might understand, the legislature
proceeded to enact law that imposed a
license upon commercial travellers with
out discrimination as to residence. The
result is that the wholesale merchants of
Montana must pay license for their
drummers, while commercial tourists
from outside states and territories can
come in and sell goods FIRE. of any tax or
licenses of any nature whatever. The
merchants of the territory and the un'
reasoning legislature that supported them
have digged pit and fallen into it. Al
the time the decision was made the In
dependent reviewed it at length, and ex.
pressing the opinion that 1t was entirely
applicable to Montana, used the follow.
ing language: "The decision is made
and must be abided by, and the legisla.
ture should adjust the difficulty by drop
ping the commercial license provision
altogether from our statute books so that
local merchants may be in no worse posi-
tion as to travelling men than are out
siders. ."-Independent.

PROHIBITION MASS MEETING.

1t was announced from the various pull
pits on the proceeding Sunday, and by
posters later, that mass meeting under
the auspices of the W. G. T. q. ans. the
Prohibition Club would take place in the
skating rink on Friday night. The hall
was seated to accommodate over 800 peo.
pie, but the seats were inadequate to the
demands of the SPECTATOR, many of whom
were obliged to stand up. The hall was
well lighted and tastefully decorated with
evergreens. Besides large number of
church members, proprietors of saloons
were noticeable in every part of the hall,
listening attentively to everything that
was said.
AT halfpast seven O'Clock President
Nichols advanced to the platform an
nouncing the object of the meeting. He
then announced the Bozeman Glee Club,
composed of twenty young ladies and
gentlemen, who, with Mrs. Will Alexan-
der as organist, sang very creditably dur.
ing the evening.
"Dr. Waters, our next mayor" was
introduced by President Nichols. The
Doctors remarks were received with rapt
attention.
Davis Wilson was the next speaker
ard was heartily cheered in the course
of his earnest and eloquent appeal in be-
half of prohibition.
Mrs. Gen. Wilson then sang sole
with fine effect, her rare voice completely
filling the large hall. Mrs. Wilson has
always been regarded as fine singer
and commands an audience whenever
she appears in puplic; but upon this ou
casion she surpassed any previous efforts
Later iu the evening she sang temper
ance song to the tune of "Glory, Glory
Halleluiah," the vast audience joining
with one accord in the chorus.
Rev. Mr.. Hall, of the M. E. church
made brief address, in which he com
mented upon an article in a certain pa
per, (the CHRoNIcLE) which had said tina
certain Democratic candidate (Nels
Catlin) had been accused of being Pro
hibitionis; being member OF the Dem
ocratic party it was not possible for hin
to be Prohibitionis; fact which W
still claim, and which the reverand gen
tleman did not disprove If the Pfohi
bition party is the third party, its mem
bers cannot be Democrats or Republican
at the same time. The Democratic part
pleads guilty to the charge of being anti
prohibitionists.
Mr.. Highsmith was called upon, bu
owing to the lateness of tine hour n
doubt, failed to respond.
John Craig was then called upon an
gave the reasons why he was prohibi
Zionist.
The audience then sang "My Countr
'Tis of Thee" and the first prohibitio
mass mesting in Montana was dismissed

The Texas DrOuth.

Judge McIeary has kindly furnished
us with Texas paper, which gives us
better account of the drouth in that state
than has previously met our eye.
The main reason why the people ofthe
drouth portion of the state are suffering
so severely is that such calamity was
unexpected and the people were largely
new settlers, living OH school lands, and
having spent what they brought with
them from older portions of the country
in improving their farms, they were un-
able to purchase supplies when their
means of subsistence were exhausted. 1t
can scarcely be charged to either the
fault of the people or the defects Of the
country or climate that the drouth has
been so disastrous in its results. Such
misfortunes are common in other states,
but there people have surplus, and are
thus enabled to endure the hardshins.
When necessity began to pinch severely
for the most part the shiftless and idle
classes moved out to other sections,
where living was easier, Those who
have remained are mainly farmers whose
all is invested in their farms. With a
determination and herolsm ran ely equal
ed they have clung to their homes and
meau to remain in the country, and it is
to the advantage of the state to have
them remain. The 500 600 appropriated
by the state, small as it may seem COM
pared with the number of the destitute,
has proven to be an Invaluable boon. to
many industrious citizens who, in the
absence of its provisions, would probably
have been compelled to leave their
homes and return to the older states
| from whence they came, thus depriving
Texas of an honest yeomanry who will
be its strength in contributing to its
revenues, and its bulwark should their
services ever be required. While ex-
aggerated reports have gone forth TO the
detriment of the state, the truth is bad
enough, and further damage to the states
| reputation surely cannot accure from q
praisworthy efforts to relieve its own
citizens. Up to the present but little
rain has fallen in the drouth stricken
counties. The prospect for farmers i.
gloomy. If those assisted are able to re
main in the country it will not be man,
years before they will repay in revenue
to the State what it has generously
bestowed on them.

Lands in Severalty.

The president directed the allotment
of lands in severalty to Indians on the
Warm Spring reservation in Oregon,
This is the the first action taken under
the Indian land severalty act, which was
passed by the last congress. Under its
provisions, the Surveyor General of
Oregon will have to survey sufficient
quantity of land TO give to each single
person over Is years of age, so acres; to
each orphan under IS years of age, so
acres, and to each other single person
under Is years of age 40 acres. This dis
tribution is made to male and female
alike. Each Indian will receive patent
to his land which shall be of legal effect,
and declare that the United States will
hold the lands thus allowed fora period
of twenty-five years in trust for the sole
use and benefit of the Indian and of his
heirs. At the expiration of this period
the United States will convey the land
in fee.

a genuine German coffee party, the

the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Elias

invited by card, and came in the after.

were continued, grand feast bein g pre-
pared for the participants. Among the
novel forms OF amusement engaged in
was prize package drawing, which
caused no end of am musement, and merri-

Before our time, before the era of
great factories, great corporations, great
transportation companies. the only large
bodies of men were those employed by
kings and governments, consequently the
whole question. as it is presented to this
generation, is new one. Individual
capital used to deal with individual la
borers; now each party to a controversy,
which has always been in progress, is
stronger than it used to be and the labor
party is conscious of the greater strenth.
Moreover, intelligence is much more
common than it used to be, and educa-
ton is so much more widely ditfused that
there Is far less mental. difference be-
tween employers and employees than
there was fifty or one hundred years ago.
Accordingly it is mind that is to gov

WATER-LOGGED
Prohibition Water on a Democratic Wheel
Is Extremely Bad For the Wheel,

One of the genuine surprises of this
season is the result of the Bozeman city
election, which we give in full in this
column. 1t is well known Throughout
the Territory that Bozeman has Prohl-
bition party, which nominated ticket
from its ranks for the various citv offices.
Nine-tenths of the Prohlbitionists in
Bozeman are Republicans, and this indie
pendent move had the effect of difcon-
certing the Republicans to great extent
and even up to the hour of closing the
polls on Monday, nune believed that they
had carried the day. Previous to cleo
ton day the Republicans suggested a
compromise, Mr.. Bogert, the Republican
nominee for mayor, offering to leave his
place on the ticket, that Mr.. Lamme, the
Democratic nom inee for mayor might be
elected. This was not deemed advisable
by the Democrats, who, believing that
the Prohibitionists would draw consid-
cradle vote from the Republicans, looked
upon the election of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket as one of the "sure things"
of this earth. Heretofore the vote has
been pretty evenly divided, the Demo-
Gratis usually elecling majority of their
candidates. But, alas for human fore
sight, when the vote was counted, it was
found that Bogert had plurality of 81
votes! Nor did the surprise cease here.
Campbell, the Republican candidate for
city attorney, had majority of thirty
votes; Dodson, Rep. treasurer, 81 and
Clark, marshal, SO. r. C. Hite, Rep, was
elected alderman in the first ward and D
w. Mckenzie, Rep, in the second. Of
all the Offices, the Democrats secured
that of police magistrate, Judge Dida-
wick, by majority of forty-two votes
which in all probability represents the
Democratic MAJORITY in the city-C. W.
Hoffman, alderman in the third ward,
whose only opponent was Prohibition
ist, and John Koch, alderman in the
fourth ward.
